highly recommend Ctrl-c.club for a tilde server (of course, anyone can join as many as they want). I am ~loghead on ^c. I am ttt2600 on SDF. ~tffb here, so many things, so many names, ha! Oh and lh2600 on IRC. I should consolidate and choose a name. I am likely to go with x2600 across the board, as I have x2600.cc now. I need to get with m15o to see if I can change my UN on here. I doubt I can on ^c, though sending an email to the admin there is worth a shot. SDF, likely a no-go, too.
I am in the midst of cleaning up some digital junk, and life things, as well. Things to consolidate:
- UN for the several services I DO use
- making a phone call (on an actual phone) and cancelling my Amazon account (yes, it requires a phone call to some trained upseller)
- (somehow) cancelling my Google acct, but first finding some sort of SIM-accepting home/cordless phone base. I can keep Cricket Wireless and my number, but I need to use a smartphone of some sort as a phone "base" and then connect with Bluetooth Cell Connect (or whatever the term is called) to pipe in my smartphone calls to a cordless phone.
- putting 2FA on a few services, namely ones where I use my credit card
- and just lowering my online presence overall, albeit with proper privacy/security taken into account with the few things I DO use the Web for
In truth, SDF and Ctrl-c get neglected by me in a lot of ways. ^c IRC is incredible, but I lurk mostly these days. The server and the activites there have died off (in interest, for me), and the zine we ran, which I started, has tapered off in submissions (albeit over six(6) submissions this month, then my laptop died!) and publishing the thing which was once a labor of love, is now just an open invitation for people to blow up my inbox with suggestions and corrections, et al, when designing/formatting the thing was the ONLY creative outlet/fun I had with it. So, now it's just digital labor, a liability to my fun online.
Hence, me writing (more) again. I can always make up words.
